Benefits of technology

[0008]There are usually two to three key areas, such as weight resistance, cardio, and practice in the particular sport, that the athletes and fitness enthusiasts must work out to excel in their respected discipline. Therefore, it is the objective of the present invention to provide the user with benefits of all three areas to maximize the quality of each workout while minimizing time. For weight resistance, the present invention uses resistance bands in specialized areas, previously undone by any products on the market. For cardio, the present invention uses constant resistance as a method to cover the area for cardio. For practice in a particular sport, the present invention can be worn during the entire practice session. The present invention incorporates all three areas simultaneously thus not only saving time, but maximizing the time spent training to the fullest potential. A multitude of sports can use the present invention. For example, the present invention can be used when a receiver attempts to catch a ball in a football game or also when a quarterback attempts to throw a football.

Problems solved by technology

Being an athlete and / or staying in shape require a lot of time and effort.
The rewards of such an achievement are immense yet the journey towards these pinnacles requires a great deal of time consuming dedication, and exertion.
The problem is that normally the aspiring athletes and / or fitness enthusiasts would have to work out a vast array of different body parts such as, upper and lower body.
Most devices that attempt to create a total body workout system fall short, because they never cover the entire spectrum of an effective complete body work out.
But the problem that remains is that these strength enhancements exercises are very time consuming, and most devices that attempt to provide the full body workout are usually stationary exercises machines.
Most athletes are limited to performing one workout in intervals, thus consuming a lot of time and also incorporating multiple body parts but losing the core points of focus in doing so.
Since each workout is individually performed, each workout requires a specific amount of time.
Becoming a great athlete is one of the most challenging tasks ever to accomplish.
These products occupy the hands of the athlete resulting in restricted use of the equipment.
However, these products are intended to provide resistance to the workout by use of some sort of handle, but these products have limited usage for an aspiring athlete due to the confined parameters in which they were designed.
Most of the existing products in the present market seem too general and not specific enough to improve the shooting skills.
